Mango fruit (Mangifera indica L.) is the tropical fruit that grows easily in Indonesia with plenty varieties. This study aimed to determine the varieties of mango fruit and the most potent part of mango as antidiabetic agent through α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Four types of mango fruit (indramayu, manalagi, harum manis, and budiraja) were used in this study. Each part of the mango fruit:peel, flesh, endosperm, and endocarp were extracted by maceration process with three different solvents (n-hexane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and ethanol (EtOH)). An ability of all 46 extracts in inhibiting the α-glucosidase at a concentration of 500 ppm were determined. Then 11 extracts with the high inhibition value were determined their IC50 (concentration to inhibit 50% activity) values. EtOAc extract of manalagi, indramayu, and budi raja endosperm had the lowest IC50 value which was not statistically significantly different (at 95%) with EtOAc extract of budi raja peel. The bioautographic Thin Layer Chromatogram showed that the most active band is characterized by white luminescence under UV 366 nm, yellow color under UV 254 and visible light. The band with Rf 0.93 from EtOAc endosperm extract of indramayu and manalagi and Rf 0.73 from EtOAc budi raja peel extract are the most active band which predicted as a flavonoid. The result adds the value of the peel and seed of mango, as well as an alternative in blood sugar control, which is easy to obtain, relatively cheap, and liked by the community. used were different. Cahyanto (2017) has conducted a study of characterization of mango characteristics based on peel anatomy and morphology in Subang, Indonesia against 21 mango varieties that showed different results for each variety. Differences in morphology and anatomy of each mango fruit varieties are expected to be associated with the active component compound content. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the varieties, namely manalagi, harum manis, budi raja, and indramayu and parts of the most potent mangoes as antidiabetic agent through inhibiting the activity of the α-glucosidase enzyme. The result of this study can add the value of all parts of the mango, especially the peel and seed, as well as an alternative in blood sugar control, which is easy to obtain, relatively cheap, and was liked by the community. In addition, the results of this study can be a reference for further research related to antidiabetic activity on mango fruit.

METHODSFour varieties of mango fruit (manalagi, harum manis, budi raja, and indramayu) were used in this research. All sample were determined in LIPI Cibinong. Each mango fruit was separated into four parts (peels, flesh, endocarp, and endosperm), then dried to dry perfectly at 60 ° C in the oven. After perfectly dried, all sample were grinded into powder.All sample were extracted by maceration methods ranging from n-hexane, EtOAc, and EtOH. The extraction was performed with a sample and solvent ratio of 1: 5 and 1:10 adjusted to the sample condition. The extract ob...
